Stå på!

About This Movie

Stå på! is a fascinating documentary that dives into the labor struggles of the 1970s in Norway. The film centers around Geir Sundet, who finds himself at odds with his employer due to his political convictions, leading to a collective stand by his colleagues. The tone is raw and direct, capturing the urgency of the moment with an unfiltered look at workplace solidarity. You get this sense of camaraderie, the pacing is steady, almost meditative at times, allowing the viewer to absorb the weight of their actions. What’s distinctive here is how it presents everyday workers resisting the status quo, all framed through a very real and personal lens - definitely has that gritty, grassroots vibe that makes it feel alive.

Stå på! remains relatively obscure, with few physical releases, often available only in niche collector circles. Its documentary style and historical context generate interest among fans of labor history and political cinema. The film has appeared in various film festivals but has not achieved widespread DVD or Blu-ray availability, making it a sought-after piece for collectors who appreciate its grassroots storytelling and socio-political themes.
